Not something I expected, but it is back to normal otherwise. As for which iFlash card to get, I guess it depends on if you have any memory cards on hand. I opted for the iFlash Solo and a 256GB Flash Drive. Once opened, an iFlash Quad board was installed inside that lets the iPod use up to four micro SD cards for storage instead of the original hard disk drive. It went smoothly and the customer is very satisfied. An unknown error occurred (1437).” After closing that and ejecting the iPod it displayed a frowning iPod with the support URL before shutting itself off.Īfter installing the iFlash from my original post in two different generation iPods (5th and 6th), one of which has been running an iFlash previously, I’m convinced there is something wrong with it.Īs an aside, I had to restore the 5th Gen after reinstalling its original iFlash. I did an iFlash upgrade for a customer on an iPod 7th generation. ![]() After a few minutes iTunes opened a window with “The iPod “iPod” could not be restored. While going through the restore process the iPod displayed a small cirlce-slash with “Do Not Disconnect” underneath. ![]() The 5th Gen iPod connected with iTunes, then iTunes attempted to restore it. Tonight I installed the iFlash into a 5th Gen that I already installed an iFlash unit in, a 2015 manufacture model. I replaced the HDD cable on my 6th Gen to see if that made a difference with the same results functions with the original HDD perfectly, same ,problem as below with the iFlash. Very late update to my previous post below (29 March), no idea why I didn’t think of this before. (All photographs courtesy of Rob Hardwick©, used with permission) I’d like to thank Rob Hardwick and Greg Upton for putting their Classic’s forward for testing!!! Thin profile only 2mm thick, same as the original hard drive. Various testing has demonstrated so far that if the CF card works with the iFlash in a iPod Video (5g) then it will probably work in the iPod Classic (6g). All 6th/6.5/7th Generation iPods (iPod Classic) Product Details: Compatible with 5g / 6g / 7g iPods. Thankfully the pricing is getting very attractive with the 32Gb A-Data approaching $100 (£50), and the other makes following suite. If you exclude the vaporware announced by Pretec and Microdia – 32Gb is still the maximum you can buy in the shops. The iPod works so much better with solid state storage, the cover flow album art feature is smoother with no waiting for the hard drive to spin up – plus the benefit of having another 30-40% of battery life added to the already excellent run times is just great.īad news obviously is that CF cards have not climbed in capacity as hoped for. Not worth mentioning the 160Gb model here as that has plenty of room any way…. Physically the fit is perfect – the iFlash mk2 with its slimmer design is just the right thickness to go in to the slimmer design of the Classic (80gb model). If you are reading this looking at your recently deceased iPod Classic which you dropped and broke the hard drive on, well I have some good news the iFlash works and works very well. Let me know if you have any other questions, I love iPods.For the last few months I and a few iFlash users have been playing around with Apple’s new incarnation of the iPod – the 6g Classic, with its fancy new operating system and slimmer profile – we wanted to see if the iFlash would work and if Apple still left the back door open for the Compact Flash conversion of their headline media player. I see the auto-moderator is on your case today, I approved the post for you. ![]() Which btw - don't use the foam pad when installing with a 2000mah square battery.Ībsolutely don't pick up red-tape with a diameter under 10mm (which is what I use) - skinny tape doesn't make a functional difference, but it immediately divulges into a nightmare of tape stuck on tape stuck on tape stuck on tape stuck on tape.Īlso you just need a single 2" strip of 10mm on that battery.īoth adhesives are basically necessary & incredibly useful for working on iPod Mini's too. Compatible with 5g / 6g / 7g iPods Thin profile only 2mm thick Quad Mode Adapter use 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 MicroSD cards to fit with your storage requirements. ![]() I recommend 1" Kapton tape, it works perfectly for securing the SD card in the iFlash Solo. You can certainly find waaaayyy better deals on those if you look for a minute or two. I do sell micro-SD to SD adapters for $0.25 here.Ībsolutely, here's some links to the adhesives I use: Kapton tape & 'red' double-side adhesive.
